Peters went 7-9-4 with a 2.50 goals-against average and .919 save percentage for Carolina last season and 4-1-1 with the Charlotte Checkers.

Peters, who got a two-year deal, is most familiar to Hershey Bears fans from his days with the Albany River Rats, when he often played heroically, albeit often futilely, against Hershey's Calder Cup teams in 2008-09 and 2009-10.

Peters went 1-2-1 against Hershey in 2008-09 and 2-3-0 in 2009-10. The Bears swept Peters and Albany in the 2009-10 playoffs.
